I don't know if I'd even say that Kevin Smith is a "good" writer. He's just barely above average at that thing he does - and he's limited to only "that thing he does." (If that makes any sense ). He's funny, sure. But, I think being considered good at your craft requires more than just a funny bone.

And, yeah, not really a fan of his work as a director. I'm thrilled that he's script never really went anywhere. The idea never really sat well with me.
